Post Malone Pays Emotional Tribute to Zubeen Garg in Guwahati, Winning Over Fans

American singer-rapper Post Malone delivered an unforgettable moment during his Guwahati concert when he paused his performance to honour the late Assamese music icon Zubeen Garg, leaving the crowd cheering and deeply moved. The concert, held at the Khanapara grounds, saw thousands of fans gather for what was expected to be a high-octane night — but the tribute quickly became its most memorable highlight.

Midway through the show, Post Malone addressed the audience with a heartfelt acknowledgment, calling Zubeen Garg “great” and “legendary.” The crowd erupted instantly, applauding the gesture and chanting Garg’s name. Many in attendance later shared that they hadn’t expected an international star to recognise a local legend on such a grand stage, making the moment even more meaningful.

Throughout the night, Post Malone delivered his signature mix of chart-topping tracks packed with energy, but the tribute introduced a moment of stillness and emotional resonance. Fans were seen capturing the gesture on their phones, and clips soon went viral online. Social media users described the moment as “heartwarming,” “respectful,” and “a beautiful nod to Assamese culture.”

Zubeen Garg, who passed away earlier this year, remains one of the most beloved figures in Assam’s cultural landscape, known for his prolific contributions to music and cinema. For many, hearing an international artist pay respect to him on home soil felt like a recognition of the region’s artistic legacy.

The concert itself drew a massive turnout with extensive arrangements to manage the crowd, but it was the brief tribute that dominated conversations afterward. Fans expressed gratitude that Garg’s influence was acknowledged on such a global stage, describing the moment as both unexpected and emotionally powerful.

For Guwahati, the evening marked more than just a major musical event — it became a poignant celebration of cultural pride, connecting international stardom with local sentiment in a way that resonated far beyond the venue.
